legislation sometimes takes a long time to pass, civil rights legislation, health care reform. what remains to be seen is if there is the power and solidarity and commitment of people saying we are going to make this a decade's long crusade to get something done. that sometimes is the formula to get things passed through congress. illinois, independent line, good morning. caller: my comment about immigration and the news media is that the news media abuse everything through the political process. it is always about the eternal elections, who is ahead, who is behind, who is going to benefit. i wish the media would spend more time covering the american people. what is going on with real people in america? i recommend you get out of the beltway, get out of manhattan, and see how real americans live. the big problem in america is our trade laws, or open borders, driving down the wage levels in america. average american people are having a very difficult time making a living. the idea that you can open up immigration and let millions and millions of people into this country is asini

the commission on civil rights was established pursuant to the 1957 civil rights act to examine matters related to protection and race discrimination. because immigration often implicates matters pertaining to national origin and discrimination, the commission over the years has regularly conducted hearings on aspects of immigration, including illegal immigration. the most recent such hearing occurred dealing with a specific issue of the effect of illegal immigration, the wage and employment levels of workers. the evidence introduced show that illegal immigration has a disproportionately negative effect on the employment and wage levels of low skilled americans, specifically black americans. >> we are still having a little bit of a hard time hearing. can you get that closer? >> the witnesses at the hearing were experts in immigration who spanned the ideological spectrum. every single witness agreed that illegal immigration had a demonstrably negative effect on employment opportunities and wage levels of low skilled americans, specifically black americans. thisvidence as to why impacts b

>> that's one of the political arguments happening in this town right now. you end up having people from the aclu, other supporters of civil liberties in saying that people like timothy mcvay who was a domestic terrorist was read miranda rights and the same thing should happen to the brothers. on the other hand you do have the same two senators i just talked about on immigration legislation, john mccain and lindsey graham who said this person is a terrorist should not have miranda rights. it seems the obama administration is going to be straddling the middle ground as they did a couple years ago in that you wait some time before giving them their miranda rights to make sure there's no types of threats to the public safety before reading those rights. and that seems to be the course the obama administration will be taking. >> your network is the subject of two articles i want to bring to our audience's attention nourl national journal and the headlines pete williams reporting and why he was getting the boston story right. goes into his philosophy of whale and
